Pick-Your-Own

---

Bring your family out to the pumpkin farm where we grow the pumpkins!  Park right in the field and search through the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin!  All pumpkins are $8 each, any size, and there are some really big ones this year!!  We have wagons to make it a little easier for you to haul your harvest to the car.  Bring old clothes and comfortable shoes, and it might be a good idea to wear gloves too.   Note that the pick your own field does not have the activities or hay rides that we have at the original location.

Everyone's safety is very important to us. For your health and safety, and for the health and safety of everyone around you, please follow these rules:

• No running, jumping or climbing on pumpkins.
• Be especially careful not to trip on the pumpkin vines.
• The vines and stems are prickly, handle carefully and consider wearing gloves and long pants.
• Do not ride in the wagons or wheelbarrows.
• When lifting heavy pumpkins, bend at the knees not the hips, and lift straight up without a twisting motion.
• Pumpkins are pre-clipped for safety and to promote proper curing prior to harvest.  If you find an un-clipped pumpkin that you want, please notify an employee who will be happy to assist.
• Do not go beyond the flagged perimeter of the field.
• Be careful when walking through the parking area, watch out for cars, and cars watch out for children.
• Be aware that bees and other pollinators are a natural part of pumpkin patches.
• Maintain a minimum of 6 feet apart from all other groups, families, customers and employees.
• Utilize our hand wash station and hand sanitizer.
• Parking is capacity is limited to facilitate proper social distancing.  If all the numbered parking spaces are occupied, please return at another time.
• Proper face coverings and social distancing are required at all times.
• Pets are not permitted.
• All the facilities are outdoors.

Just like our original stand, this year all payments are non-contact.  You can deposit cash or checks into our self service payment box, or you can pay with a credit card by using your phone and scanning our QR code at the stand, which will bring you to our on-line store, where you can process your purchase on your own phone.

Pick your own pumpkins are open every day from 1 PM to 6 PM, weather permitting.  No customers are permitted in the field outside of these hours.  The field will be closed for approaching rain, and is closed during rain and for about one or two days after rain due to muddy field conditions.  Check the website for any updates on hours due to rain events.

Weather Update: Pick Your Own Pumpkin Patch is open.

The pick-your-own pumpkin patch is located at the southwest corner of Route 47 and Algonquin Road in Huntley, and it is 3 miles west of our original location.
